GALLERY WALK – JANIE PACKER, CERAMICS & MIXED MEDIA ARTIST
(FREE) Ceramics artist Janie Packer will join the Lucy Clark Gallery for the August Gallery walk.
Janie often only has the germ of an idea when she starts a new project, and she lets a wild dance between her and the clay direct the process. As the work progresses, it may start to look like a weeping woman, or a cat with a crown on its head. She lets the dance go on until the basic form emerges. If it makes her smile, then the refining process begins. Pieces may be fired multiple times until the surface treatment is completed. Regardless of the outcome, her work deals with the idea of human fragility. It is about compassion for people as they journey from suffering on towards enlightenment.
